One of these days Apple will come with a stylus of their own and will deem it revolutionary for anyone taking notes and everyone would then want it. I'm still waiting for A4 sized tablets. > Steve Jobs on styluses can get bent Steve Jobs also sought alternative medicine for his cancer, so it's not as if he is some repository of universal truths. And I think locking iPad into media appliance role has to do with them not wanting to kill half of Mac sales, it doesn't make sense to me to artificially limit what is from HW standpoint essentially a keyboardless laptop otherwise. That's why I'll take (transformer) W8 over iPad any day - I only have to take around one device.

I can respect that. I use Windows where I have to; I do game dev in a Windows VM (so I can still use a laptop that feels good, I haven't found good Windows hardware). The SP3 isn't a good substitute for that for me, because it's been impossible to find a keyboard/trackpad for it that isn't jokey. The Type Cover isn't a terrible keyboard, but songs could be written about what garbage the trackpad is and so I strictly reserve the SP3 for things where I don't need to type (or at home, where I have a passable BT keyboard that I wouldn't want to carry around the rest of the day).
